changed wording for clarity and consistency

    1: \label{String_Response_Problems}
    2: 
    3: \textbf{\index{String Response}String Response} problems allow the student to submit a string of characters for the answer. Examples
    4: of String Response questions are vocabulary tests, short answers and chemical formulas.
    5: 
    6: Note that it is easy to abuse String Response problems. For instance, consider
    7: the question {}``Who wrote 'Huckleberry Finn'?'' If you tell the system
    8: the answer is {}``Mark Twain'', and a student answers {}``Twain'', the
    9: system will mark it wrong. If they answer {}``Samuel Clemens'', then the
   10: student will definitely get it wrong. There is some room for flexibility
   11: in the string processing, but it can be difficult to get it all correct. Before
   12: you use a String Response problem, be sure you can easily characterize correct
   13: answers.
